If Gingrich is Churchill...I’m the Virgin Mary.

“Gingrich’s problems have been based in character and the need to be liked.”

Eh. the need to be thought smart maybe. Frequently when I see Gingrich I’m reminded of Arnold Horshack sitting in the front of the room with his arm extended high saying “OO OO... OO OO...”

“why slightly crazed people make better leaders in times of great crisis than stable people do”

RP2012 - No one is crazier.

Amazing what people will overlook when thier a## is on fire after following the appeasers. One reaches for the difficult one, the one they called uncompromising, the one without the look, the angry one who speaks the truth when no on else does.

Romney will win if the coming Newt implosion happens during the primary and Mitt is our last chance to prevent Ron Paul from becoming our surrenderer-in-chief. But I sure would prefer a different option. For certainly we will be in a much worse position if Newt gets the nomination and then suddenly decides to mandate carbon credits, while lunching with Nancy Pelosi on a park bench.

What a silly string of non-sequiters and false assumtions. Does this guy really get paid to write?

We must draft, nominate and elect Sarah Palin president in the most crushing tidal wave of enthusiastic good judgment ever seen in the history of this nation. With that one bold move we will accomplish the dual goals of seeing America led by the greatest natural born leader in our generation, even as we witness the final implosion and last agonized shrieks of our endlessly lying extreme left loonies. Their entire movement, from the fabricated attacks on Bush beginning with ‘Blood For Oil’ to the crammed-down-our-gullets lies of Obamacare and the Shovel Ready Stimulus, have been nothing but one vile deceit heaped upon another. Such an absolute inability to deal in the truth or to face the facts of our situation and its solutions only proves that there is simply no place at the grown-ups’ table for these diseased sputa. Good riddance to rubes and bad rubbish. Time to usher in the American Renaissance, carried in on the invigoratingly freshening breeze of President Sarah Palin.

I’m not voting for Gingrich, and here’s why:

Did General George Washington ever surrender to the British armies?

Do you think that if he had that America would have survived?

Now, does the Tea Party surrender to RINOs?

Do you think that if it does that America will survive?

Think about it.

Which is why, if you truly care about this nation--especially if you live in Iowa, New Hampshire, or South Carolina, I implore you to take this decision seriously.

Everyone else has been found wanting and Kevin doesn't even have the guts to suggest an alternative.

I still believe Obama's going to win regardless of the patsy put forth next November, the GOP might as well go for Newt. It can be argued both he and Romney need to be kept on the reservation but Newt has fought, he has that in him, whereas Romney's no fighter.

This race did not draw out the kind of candidate I think we needed most.

Sir, I think the pablum us true conservatives are going to be left with on November 6 next year is Obama, if he has not resigned, or one of the current republican candidates unless you are one of those that believes in a “brokered” convention being possible in 2012. I don’t.

So, I am going to back up just a little on previous statements I have made given which way this worm seems to be turning. My big concern about Perry WAS immigration. Now, not so much since he is promising to build a fence and completely secure the border even with troops in his first year. Please don’t be persuaded by media’s obsession with pubbie candidates mis-statements. At least Perry knows how many states there are. I predict Perry will be second, if not first, in Iowa. He’s been elected governor down here 3 times. We learned to “NEVER COUNT PERRY OUT!!”

>>>We must draft, nominate and elect Sarah Palin president in the most crushing tidal wave of enthusiastic good judgment ever seen in the history of this nation.<<<

I read this and weep.

The Marxist soft coup d’etat continues unabated, and those of us who support Constitutional, limited government are split up, undecided, arguing amongst ourselves, running this way and that, seemingly unable to muster even the slightest opposition.

Sarah Palin would make a good candidate, in my opinion, as would Bachmann or Santorum, and we’re left with the good news businessman and the old professor. I’ve always read that in times of crisis in the United States a leader emerges to lead us out of the darkness, but maybe those days are over.

Meanwhile, the left is organized, without scruples, and willing to do whatever it takes to stay in power. They have strategies and, most important, cohesion. It looks like their decades-long effort to disillusion Americans has worked. God help us.

The lynching of Cain made my decision easier by handing Michigan to Romney and by extension, Obama. I could write a name in if I wanted to and it won’t make a bit of difference.

“Is Gingrich Churchill?”

Yes he is and I’m gonna be MVP of this year’s Super Bowl. We can all dream.

The Churchill - Gingrich comparison has been discussed on prior threads. Several writers have noted the similarities of their journeys of early success and ignominious time spent in political exile.

The comparisons have not included their beginnings i.e. Churchill’s aristocracy, military adventures, Parliamentary victories vs. Gingrich’s modest childhood and professorial accomplishment which contrast strength of will and character.

Their life stories are both compelling for the perilous times in which they lived and how their countrymen looked to Churchill for inspiration and now to Newt for common sense and purpose.

This guy thinks that Mitt Romney is our best hope at keeping Ron Paul from becoming President.

Is this kind of alternative reality?

Is anybody else here as mystified as me on how it came to choosing between the two abject weakest leaders of the GOP field?

I don't know how mystified I am about it but I am certainly disgusted.
